The Office of the Medical Examiner (OME) was established in 1972 as a division of the Utah Department of Health. Our current location serves the entire state of Utah. The central office staff is comprised of forensic pathologists, investigative staff, autopsy technicians and office support staff.

In February of 2017, we relocated to a new facility in Taylorsville, Utah. The new building houses the OME on the first floor, the State Crime Laboratory on the second floor and a section of the Department of Agriculture on the third floor. The main entrance to the office is on the west side of building with ample parking available. We are located adjacent to the Utah Public Health Laboratory.
